we aren't though, we are what we are
we are apes
and reducing that to what we are not
He truly shows he isn't ready to present neither the most modest efforts to pursue either knowledge or accomplishment
isn't any significant point
Will talk to you later
later dude
"we're apes on a rock WHOA DUDE"
you will die and in 200 years, nobody living will remember you or know your name
simple as that
so what
what's your point
whether I die and turn to dust doesn't matter
to the point that for humans, our lives still need a certain framework of meaning, which is religion
humans aer nothing, there is no god, medieval philosophers realized that there could not be a god
that we perceive the world in a certain fashion
when they used aristotlian logic to disprove neo-platonism
you've gone down a different track now
in the 1100s
proving or disproving stuff, philosophy, none of it matters
precedes any kind of social organization
religion is basically magical thinking
there's a good case for saying that humans only got together at all
"magical thinking" is real thinking
how is it real?
they're real thoughts that people had
attributing meaning and justification to various aspects of your life
but how is it real thinking?
it's how you live anyway, without realizing it
no, most people never used magical thinking, even in pre-historic times
in their dailyt life
the thing you are calling "magical thinking" doesn't exist
yes it does
no, it would be the same as delusion
magical thinking is a delusion
the term you refer to as "magical thinking" encompasses two things
being stupid and/or crazy
and considering the world an alive thing where life matters
or that matters in some way
no life matters
